Moretonhampstead would probably be easiest but it’s difficult to put a time on it. Probably pass through there around Midday. If you do want to join along the route just park somewhere sensible and raise your hand so the tail ender can see you. As long as it is safe they’ll let you out in front of them.

That was the good thing about the old ones. They may had just 50hp and not be highway monsters but gravel like this and bad abandoned roads and secondary roads, you are a king on them. Had 3 of them, even the very rare version of 400cc 94' /the same as 600 but smaller displacement/ .. But this one have nearly double the power of the original 600 and high 6th gear for highway cruising. I believe that the old ones had better weather protection for the knees and legs, the new one is naked on the side and on the bottom. I miss my old 400.. Loved that bike, but officially belonged to a dead man with number of heirs abroad and was impossible to sign it on my name.. So I get rid of it... 15 years ago.. Maybe was a mistake, don't know. The new CF moto 450 mt seams very very good too.

Hi Stefan, yes its pros and cons I guess with old and new. I do very much like the new one though. Its great to see Honda making a top notch machine again. The handling is superb!!

Another youtuber had the 800 and his camshaft has just split killing the engine! so for me they are over hyped, and now being part of KTM ....I'm not so sure

I have a 2023 X-Cape with just 2000 miles on it which I bought here in the U.S. The reason I bought it, was because I had owned a NEW 1977 Kawasaki 650cc and had put 32, 000 miles plus on it with no engine problems. I planned on doing mainly highway driving. When I had my 2023 X-Cape shipped from Southern California I've taken to a Dealer in Las Vegas, Nevada where I live. Two Problems, I don't like. 1) When going over 40 miles per hour, the REAREND starts HOWLING LOUDLY, especially 70 mph+, to the point, that playing music threw my earbuds gets drowned out by the noise from the rearend. 2) Shifting is terrible. It makes a clunk when putting it in 1ST Gear and I hear a noise going up and down the 6 gears when shifting in each gear. AFTER GETTING IT BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY ADJUSTED EVERYTHING TO [SPECS] AND I'M HAVING THE SAME 2 PROBLEMS. The Dealership I bought it from is in Southern California, which is 450 miles away, WHICH I MAY HAVE TO TAKE IT THERE ! IS ANYONE HAVING ANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS ? YOUR COMMENTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. FROM AN OLD RIDING GUY !

Lovely bike. I thought you were actually being quite brave there Exmouth and I don't think I would have fancied that rocky descent on my own bike, so I think you made the right call. I really think that the Transalp is the sweet spot for a decent all-round ADV bike. It has enough about it to be a decent tourer but still not lardy enough to be hard work on a trail. Get the luggage on that bike and it would very much be a "Norman Deluxe" !!! Ideal for touring, trailing or running the odd little errand. It is definitely a bike I would buy if I had the money to burn. Literally a "Norman Deluxe". So I guess that means that I am currently running "the poor man's Transalp". I think I can live with that ! Thanks for being brave and showing us that you can have fun with a Tra*ny, getting down and dirty behind the hedges. Take care Steve and love to the Exmouth crew.

7k klms on mine now. Just a couple of points... Those tyres are 80/20 at best. Essentially road tyres. A set of proper tyres, like Michelin Anakee Wild or similar transforms the bike off road. Front forks are okay once sag is set. Rear shock isn't brilliant. Actually.. that's too polite.... The rear shock is a POS. My GPX750R from 1985 had better damping control. Either re spring and re valve it, or replace it with something decent. It's truly shit. The throttle response you get used to. I have no complaints now. For standing up, the cockpit is too cramped. Bars too close and pegs too far forward. But reversing the bar risers and rotating the bars forward make it better. Not perfect, but doable. It's way better off road than reviews suggest. It's very well balanced and not top heavy which makes up for a little less clearance than some competitors. I've been doing stuff that some wouldn't take their enduro bike through and it's coped admirably. You of course can't attack stuff at the same speed you would on a CRF450, but take a little more time and it will get through most stuff. If you really must have cruise, Veridian do a plug and play kit which looks almost factory for $299 USD. It's also brilliant on fuel. 400klms to a tank minimum. 👍
